In this discussion in Urdu, my BIOMS team members from Quaid-e-Azam Medical college discuss with me the COVID-19 disease and the SARS-COV-2 virus.
We discussed the following topics:
1. Where did the SARS-COV-2 come from?
2. What is a Coronavirus?
3. Who are asymptomatic patients that are unknowingly spreading the disease?
4. What is the incubation period of SARS-COV-2?
5. What outbreaks has it caused in the past?
6. What are the signs and symptoms of the COVID-19?
7. Can we tell if it is COVID-19 or seasonal flu?
8. How to manage the patients of mild, severe, and critical stages of the virus?
9. How does the warm climate help?
10. What are the medicines that are used (unapproved from WHO)?
11. What population segments are most at risk?
12. Questions and answers from the team.
Thank you BIOMS team. Great job for setting this up.
